...your willingness to use Democrat talking points without taking the time or effort to find out why and how they are fooling you is a disservice to this country and, I should add, a disservice to the principles that Jim Robinson and the people around him espouse.

"Democrat talking points"?

Are you seriously trying to suggest that Romney bears no responsibility for his liberal track record, and that any mention of it is an underhanded attack against him?

You're as bad as the Democrats who scream 'foul!' whenever we quote Obama's own words to them.

You've also got a lot of nerve trying to ally Jim Robinson to those timid and dishonored people who have shut their eyes to Romney's many transgressions against conservative traditions and principles. He may be allowing you Romneybots to post here, but make no mistake; he supports Romney about as much as he supports Obama, and has said so countless times.

By the way, if you're going to invoke someone's name in conversation, you should ping them to that post.

I also notice that you didn't refute a single one of those bullet points from Romney's record. It's no wonder that you didn't. His record is completely indefensible from a conservative point of view. His performance in office was indistinguishable from any liberal Democrat, and he's done nothing in his private life to support the contention that he bears any allegiance to the right.

Who cares what his official party affiliation is? If it walks like a Democrat and talks like a Democrat, it's a Democrat.

I get the fact that you don’t like Mitt Romney. I get the fact that Romney has taken positions that neither you nor I agree with. But at this point we have a choice: Romney or Obama for the next four years. If you believe that Obama would be the better choice, then you can reel off a list of Romney’s sins. If you believe that it doesn’t matter who wins, you can reel off Romney’s sins and Obama’s sins and convince people that neither one deserves the job, but you didn’t. But if you believe as I do that it makes a big difference and that our number one, two and three objective is the defeat of Obama, it makes no sense to try to convince people that Romney should not be elected. I’ll let Jim Robinson tell you himself which way he’ll vote this November. But I would be shocked to learn that, given Jim’s antipathy toward socialism, and given a choice between Obama and Romney, he would vote to give the Big O another 4 years. (Of course in California Jim’s vote may not sway the state.)
